Neo Hülcker`s voice is breaking. For this special unique and nonrecurring time the composer and performer asked 16 friendly composers to write pieces specifically for his voice break as a birthday present.
A first part of these compositions will be performed by Neo Hülcker tonight – followed by a second premiere-night at ausland later this year in autumn that’ll feature the remaining pieces by the other composers.
The compositions deal with different aspects of the breaking of the voice: Edward Henderson, for instance, works with all the fine delicate nuances and breakpoints of a breaking voice. In Henry Wilde’s pieces, the breaking voice is captured through laughter and the medical explanation of the breaking voice’s biological processes is translated into a graphical score. Andrea Neumann confronts Neo Hülckers voice with a larynx microphone that starts to develop a life of its own just as Neo Hülcker`s voice.
Christian Kesten works with the tradition of yodeling, which seems to perfectly suit the phenomenon of the voice break…
